Dave's recipe is the bomb...These two are my fav's and the only way I tend to prepare Halibut anymore cause I like it so much..:
1 clove garlic, minced
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 whole lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 (6 ounce) fillets halibut
1. In a stainless steel or glass bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.
2. Place the halibut filets in a ziplock bag, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover or seal and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Med-high on my grill....Set grate 4 inches from the heat.
4. Remove halibut filets from marinade and drain off the excess. Grill filets 5 minutes per side or until fish is done when easily flaked with a fork.
OR, even better:
My new favorie recipe:
2 lb halibut fillet
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups crushed Ritz crackers
1 large yellow or Walla Walla onion, sliced
1/4 cup butter
Melt butter in a large frying pan. Add sliced onion and sauté until onion is translucent then spread evenly over bottom of baking pan; set aside.
In a bowl mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions and lemon juice. Arrange halibut over top of a bad of onions in baking pan. Spread sour cream and mayonnaise mixture over the top of the halibut. Sprinkle generously with crushed Ritz crackers.
Bake at 375°F for 40-50 minutes (depending on thickness of fish).
